Comment (by nickm):

 I had thought that this might be a problem with our use of
 mach_approximate_time(), but apparently we started using that in 0.3.4 to
 no ill effect.

 Maybe it has something to do with our change in how we update the current
 time in 0.3.4 with #26009-- that does seem like a relevant change.
